Quote:I never thought bortles was more ready, just that he had more experience in a pro style offense. The difference is the skill set. While mariota never had the traditional experience in a pro style offense, he has shown the ability to stay in the pocket with poise and go through his progressions and make good decisions. On the basis of skill set and ability, there is no doubt mariota was more capable entering the league than bortles, but bortles was more ready for a natural transition based on experience. He has more nfl ready talent and ability than bortles ever did, but not more pro style experience than him.
